Hiya,

I read all these because my cousins absolutely loved them & passed them onto me. To be honest I preferred Point Horror. I remember this book being very sad, but on the plus side it’s an SVH book where SOMETHING ACTUALLY HAPPENED.

I always hate “eating disorder episodes” of YA books or 80′s sit.coms Why is a mental illness like anorexia or bulimia solved by a heart to heart and a bowl of Campbell’s (blow) Chunky?

“Why is everyone in this country so obsessed with being skinny?” asked Elizabeth angrily. “it’s not right. Girls and women are made to feel ugly if they don’t look like models or beauty pageant contestants.” It’s pretty damn easy for Liz to say that when every one licks her skinny size 6 brownstar every fucking five seconds!

I swear, there is a correlation between reading SV books and suffering from eating disorders. Someone take a survey!

As usual, the SVH timeline screws everything the hell up. Robin gets a full-blown eating disorder and lands herself in the hospital in two weeks? And then recovers in a few days? *headdesk*

OK, I just googled Carrie Underwood and she looked SO much better as a size six than as a size two. IMO.

Also, I am still in the “Jessica for biggest bitch” camp. I know Liz has her smug bitchy moments, but Jessica is just sociopathic. And has nearly driven people to suicide with her bullying!

Jess ia more upfront about it eg ‘at least Robin isnt fat anymore’ whereas Liz is more ‘its ok that Robis is not a skinny or hot as me. its totally fine.’ for some reason i LOVED this book when i was a kid. read it heaps of times. and something about the super sundae just seemed really impossible to me. i mean ice cream in kiddie pools? does anyone else try to imagine this and go ‘so not possible..’
